Tips

• Professional Installation is Paramount: Always ensure that the CBi Grid Plate 2 Lever 2x4 White (G001-P) and its chosen inserts are installed by a qualified and certified electrician. Proper wiring and secure mounting are crucial for safety and optimal performance, ensuring compliance with all local electrical codes and regulations.
• Choose Compatible Inserts: The G001-P is a modular plate; its functionality depends entirely on the inserts you choose. Carefully select two appropriate CBI-electric inserts (e.g., light switches, dimmers, data sockets) that match your specific electrical requirements and fit the dual-module design.
• Ensure Proper Fit: While designed for CBI-electric inserts, always double-check the compatibility of any chosen inserts with this specific grid plate to ensure a secure fit and proper electrical connection. Never force inserts into the plate.
• Regular Cleaning and Maintenance: To preserve the pristine white finish and ensure hygienic operation, regularly wipe the grid plate surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the plastic or compromise the electrical components.
• Leverage Modularity for Future Needs: The modular design allows for easy future upgrades. If your needs change, you can simply swap out one or both existing inserts for different ones (e.g., replacing a light switch insert with a data insert) without needing to change the entire grid plate or conduct major electrical work.
• Aesthetic Consistency: To maintain a cohesive look throughout your property, consider using other products from CBI-electric’s Plastic Range, which share the same design language and white finish, ensuring a unified aesthetic across all your wiring accessories.
• Safety First: If you encounter any difficulties during installation or observe any signs of damage or malfunction after installation, immediately disconnect power to the circuit at the main distribution board and contact a qualified electrician.
